Dynamis 18K Gold Orthodox Cross "King of Glory" - 014 Review

Inscriptions carry the design of this Orthodox cross: the listing describes a Crucifixion surrounded by Church Slavonic inscriptions that it translates as Jesus Christ, Son of God, Christ is victorious and King of Glory, the last on the bail. The 18K Yellow Gold pendant measures 42 x 22 mm including the bail and is listed at $6,500 as a single variant, crafted to order. The listing gives no weight.

Specifications

Options and pricing

There is one variant at $6,500; the price does not depend on size or finish. The listing gives the pendant as 42 x 22 mm including the bail and the bail as 7 x 5 mm, and says the metal is Solid 18K Yellow Gold. No weight and no finish are listed. The Design line reads Orthodox Crucifixion with Traditional Church Slavonic Inscriptions, and the listing says the chain is sold separately.

How it compares

The 18K Gold Orthodox Crucifix Pendant - Cross 004 is $4,500 and lists 45 x 25 mm and 16 g, while the 18K Gold Orthodox Cross with Christ the Saviour and Saints - 005 is $6,000 at 46 x 27 mm and 20 g. The 18K Gold Orthodox Cross with Christ, Saints & Archangels - 002 is priced at $6,500 like this cross and lists 40 x 30 mm and 21.5 g. Each of those three gives a weight, which this listing does not.

Shipping and processing

• Processing. The store's shipping policy page says to allow 1-3 business days to process an order once payment is confirmed, or 2-4 business days during sales and holiday peaks, and that some products are made to order only, taking 4-6 weeks of processing on average before they ship (checked 2026-11-07).
• This product page says: "allow 1-2 weeks for production".
• Delivery. The same page gives average shipping times of 1-5 business days within Canada (Canada Post), 1-5 business days across North America (DHL) and 5-7 business days for international tracked shipments, which it says exclude weekends and holidays. It says tracking activates once the parcel has been scanned at the sorting facility and that crossing the border from Canada can take two days.
• Duties and taxes. The shipping policy says "Customs taxes, duties or import charges are included." The refund policy says "The return shipping costs as well as duties and taxes (if apply) are the customer's responsibility." Both are quoted as written.

Returns and warranty

• Returns. The store's refund policy page gives 14 days after receiving the item to request a return. The item must be in the condition received, unworn or unused, in its original packaging and in sellable condition, with the receipt or proof of purchase. Contact the store first: items sent back without a return request are not accepted. An approved refund goes to the original payment method, but items bought on sale are refunded as store credit (an e-gift card) only (checked 2026-11-07).
• Not returnable. The same page says custom products, such as special orders or personalized items, and final sale items cannot be returned. Cancelling an order costs a 7% fee, and the store asks to be contacted within 24 hours of ordering. For exchanges it says the fastest route is to return the item and, once the return is accepted, buy the new one separately. It asks buyers to inspect an order on arrival and to contact the store at once about a defective, damaged or wrong item.
• This listing. The product page says: "Each cross is individually made to order and considered final sale". The refund policy says it cannot accept returns on final sale items.

• Warranty. The store's lifetime warranty page covers manufacturing defects and material failures for the lifetime of the original purchaser, starting at the purchase date: for example loose, damaged or missing stones, broken chains, snapped bracelet strands and malfunctioning clasps or hinges, when caused by a manufacturing defect (checked 2026-11-07). Every claim is reviewed case by case and must be approved.
• Not covered. The page lists lost or stolen items; scratches, dents and general wear; tarnishing, oxidization and discoloration; damage from chemicals, moisture, chlorine, perfumes, lotions or cleaning solutions; accidents, misuse or improper storage; third-party repairs, alterations, resizing or cleaning; resold items and items from unauthorized sellers; and "Sample sale, clearance, or final sale items, unless otherwise stated".
• Claims. A claim needs your name, current address, order number or proof of purchase, a description, two clear photos, one photo of the item beside a handwritten note with the order number and, where movement is involved, a video of up to 10 seconds. If a claim is approved the store may repair or replace the piece or issue store credit at its discretion, and it may issue store credit equal to the original value if the piece is no longer available. It offers no rainchecks for discontinued or out-of-stock items.
• This listing. The product page says: "Each cross is individually made to order and considered final sale", and the warranty page lists final sale items as not covered unless otherwise stated. The pages do not say whether the lifetime warranty applies to this piece.

Care and custom orders

• Care. The FAQ says to use the provided Dynamis polishing cloth to clean the silver or gold areas gently, mild diluted soap with warm water for deeper cleaning, and to dry the piece thoroughly before storing it. It advises avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture, perfumes, lotions, chlorine and harsh chemicals (checked 2026-11-07).
• In the box. The FAQ says every Dynamis order arrives in signature Dynamis packaging and includes a polishing cloth.
• Gold and custom orders. This listing is an 18K gold product page priced at $6,500. The custom orders page says custom orders start from $2,500 and that an existing Dynamis product made in gold counts as a custom order. Neither page says whether this listing is handled as a custom order, so ask before you buy (checked 2026-11-07).

Before you buy

Dynamis Jewelry says it is a family-owned brand based in Canada, run by a husband-and-wife team, Stepan and Yuliia. Its About page says the business grew from Stepan's work as a jeweller, that it specializes in solid 925 sterling silver and gold, inspired by faith, and that many pieces are produced in limited quantities. The FAQ says the pieces are not mass produced, and the About page says the name comes from the Greek word dynamis, meaning strength, power, fortitude and the ability to overcome (checked 2026-11-07).

Two points on the store's own pages disagree. The refund policy gives [email protected] for starting a return, while the FAQ gives [email protected], so check the address before you write. And the warranty page covers items bought from Dynamis Jewelry "or an authorized Dynamis Jewelry retailer", while the FAQ says authentic Dynamis Jewelry is sold only through the official website and official Dynamis channels and asks buyers to purchase directly from the store.
